The parent of Wikipedia has joined liberal and conservative organizations in suing the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Justice to stop its mass surveillance program exposed by whistleblower Edward Snowden.

“Our aim in filing this suit is to end this mass surveillance program in order to protect the rights of our users around the world,” the Wikimedia Foundation said in statement. “We’re filing suit today on behalf of our readers and editors everywhere,” Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, added. “Surveillance erodes the original promise of the internet: an open space for collaboration and experimentation, and a place free from fear.”
